Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori has today launched its Mana Takat\u0101pui Policy, committing $200 million over three years and establishing an independent, Takat\u0101pui governed Commission with real authority over Takat\u0101pui specific funding.<\/p>\n
Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori Co Leader Rawiri Waititi says the policy is built on a simple principle: Nothing about Takat\u0101pui without Takat\u0101pui.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor too long, decisions have been made about Takat\u0101pui without Takat\u0101pui. Our policy changes who holds the power,\u201d Waititi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not creating another advisory group that Government can choose to listen to or ignore. We are establishing an independent Takat\u0101pui governed Commission with authority and guaranteed, ring fenced funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
The policy commits $200 million over three years across healthcare, mental health, housing, safety, education and culture, while investing directly in Takat\u0101pui led organisations.<\/p>\n
It includes gender affirming kaupapa M\u0101ori healthcare, Takat\u0101pui led mental health and suicide prevention, safe housing pathways, protection from violence and hate, stronger cultural connection, and safer education pathways.<\/p>\n
\u201cTakat\u0101pui have always been part of us. They are our tamariki, our mokopuna, our aunties and uncles, our cousins, our kaum\u0101tua and our wh\u0101nau.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is rangatiratanga in practice. Not simply asking our people what they need, but giving them the authority and resources to build it.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur message to our Takat\u0101pui wh\u0101nau is simple: you belong. You are M\u0101ori. You are whole. You carry whakapapa, tikanga and mana.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Te P\u0101ti M\u0101ori has today launched its Mana Takat\u0101pui Policy, committing $200 million over three years and establishing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-608693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
